So the motor is a Baldor 3 phase 1/2 hp.
I picked it up new on ebay for real cheap. It was a steal of a deal and made it much easier to justify the conversion. The original motor was likely going to require a re-wire and rebuild.
I have a Teco 1/2 hp size VFD.? I've been real happy with it and the technical support was very helpful with a direct line to technicians.? I called them a few times with wiring and programing questions...and they were very helpful.??

Bill,
Funny and stupid story, I set mine up with a VFD with fwd/rev,
potentiometer, jog, and E stop.
I tested the E stop and was nevous that the thing would spin off.? I
actually need to make the stop not quite as harsh.? But it didn't
fling off the spindle thankfully.
